Name: Luke, 1
Location: Upstate New York

I wanted to do a really special first birthday party for my son Luke, because he is my youngest, and it's probably the last 1st birthday party I'll get to throw. I went with a bird theme "A Little Birdie Told Me Someone's Turning One." I used my paper goods and scrapbook supplies to make banners.  

For food, I found the perfect cupcakes on Martha Stewart. Copper Gifts had the perfect Lovebird Cookie Cutter.

Thanks, Val! Readers, visit Val at her photography website.
